This book was more than I expected. With a story of witches joining the suffragette movement, I was pleasantly surprised by the degree to which this book explored intersectionality and took that issue seriously. I loved the women's collections of magic being saved and passed down in recipes and nursery rhymes and I felt that set a poignant tone for the book overall. At times, the plot became a bit convoluted and challenging to follow however I did find I was always able eventually to catch up to it. This definitely scratches the itch for witchy reading, and does so with more depth and nuance than I anticipated.

This was a fantastic book!! I enjoyed it soooo much. Don't know how I feel about retelling fairy tales but in this book it is well done. Couldn't decide if I should rate it 4,75 or 5 stars but I loved it so much it just HAS to be 5 stars.
Please look at the trigger and content  warnings before reading it, because it really was a lot sometimes.
